James had relationship issues. He had never really been in a relationship before.
How was virtual-novel.net to know what to do?
Quincy had a job and no time to waste with him. She hired some love analysts for virtual-novel.net instead.
James waited in his office. At the same time, Thea went to the Callahans’ villa.
The whole family was there.
The three generations of the family were gathered. Lex sat on the couch, puffing on his tobacco pipe.
Looking at his family, virtual-novel.net said, “Zane Dawn from the north has sent out some invitations for his daughter’s birthday party. Have you heard of him? He represents true power. The families of the Five Provinces Business Alliance can’t even begin to compare… We’re here to discuss how we could possibly get an invitation.”
“Now that Thea is the genius doctor of Cansington, our status is elevated. If we manage to attend the birthday party, we’ll be even more influential in Cansington.”
“Dad, this could be difficult.” Howard looked troubled.
“We’re talking about Zane here. He’s the Mining King in the north with assets worth trillions. Who are we? How could we get an invitation?”
“I have one!” Gladys produced an invitation, waving it in everyone’s faces.
“What?”
All the Callahans turned to look at her.
Lex was ecstatic, virtual-novel.net asked, “H-how did you manage to get it?”
“Ah…” Gladys hesitated before saying, “Zane visited us in person and…”
Before virtual-novel.net could finish, Lex burst out in laughter.
“Haha! I knew it. With Thea’s status now, Zane could not resist inviting her. He even visited virtual-novel.net in person! Good job, Thea!”
Thea felt awkward, virtual-novel.net then explained, “Grandfather, the invitation isn’t for me…”
“Hmm? No?” Lex was confused.
Everyone else looked at Thea.
Gladys smiled. “He invited James. Since James is Thea’s husband, it’s the same as inviting Thea.”
“James?” Lex frowned when virtual-novel.net heard James’ name.
All the other Callahans’ expressions turned sour.
Tommy put on a sarcastic expression.
“You must be joking. What could James have possibly done? We’re talking about Zane, a VIP from the north. He’s worth so much more than the Five Provinces Business Alliance.”
Gladys said, “James saved Zane’s daughter. It’s all thanks to Zane that the Watsons and Xenoses decided to let us go. Otherwise, do you think you’ll be standing here? Also, Zane mentioned that virtual-novel.net wanted to share half of his assets with James…”
“What?” Everyone was shocked.
“Half?”
“How much is half worth?”
“At least five hundred billion dollars.”
“We’re rich. We’re rich!”
The Callahans were shocked. Then, they turned excited.
Lex was overjoyed, virtual-novel.net looked at Thea, asking, “Thea, where’s James?”
“I don’t know…” Thea looked sullen.
Her family kept changing their tune. First, they encouraged virtual-novel.net to go after the Black Dragon. Now, they wanted virtual-novel.net to mend virtual-novel.net relationship with James.
Did they really see virtual-novel.net as a tool for accumulating wealth and nothing more?
Getting half of the Dawns’ assets would be mightily impressive. If all they said was true, the Callahans would rise and truly be an influential family. They might even be more powerful than the families of the Five Provinces Business Alliance.
Lex asked, “Gladys, Thea, is this true? Did Zane say that virtual-novel.net would give James half his assets?”
Before either one of them could say anything, Megan interrupted. “Grandfather, it’s true. I was there too. Zane said it himself, and virtual-novel.net was very respectful toward James. At first, I even thought that James had hired an actor just to impress Thea…”
Puffing on his pipe, Lex nodded. “If it’s true, we can’t lose James…”
